To enquire about the availability of your own personal record, kindly fill in the form on the right side of this page. Be sure to include as much of the information requested as possible. While we do not store every patient record from every closed practice, we are happy to check for yours. Please allow 2 business days for a response.
Note:
- A Release of Information Form must be completed and signed prior to the release of any medical information. If you do not have one, we will supply you with one.
- You are entitled to a COPY of your patient record. The original record is the property of the physician and must be retained in storage for a period of time, afterwhich it is shredded.
- Each patient of legal age or older must sign for the release of his/her own record.
- There is a fee for the transfer of medical information. The fee is set in accordance with the published provincial medical association guidelines. The fee is not prohibitive and records are not withheld once properly authorized for release.
